2. Conservative businessmen always shriek about any rise
in the minimun wage, promise that they'll have to fire half their employees, moan that they'll be driven out of business and into the poorhouse.
Then their business increases to both offset the puny wage increase and to give them record profit and they shut up.
Then somebody proposes another minimum wage hike and they start to wail again.
The best thing to do is let them scream. Raise the minimum wage to a living level and then enforce it. Eliminate any benefits in hiring illegal workers. Then watch how fast they shut up as their business skyrockets.
